Nanovna on Zorin OS


 

Hi!
I am new in Linux and use Zorin OS 15.
I tried to install NanoVNA-Saver, but git command is not recognized at terminal. Python is installed.
Is there any tutorial available about installing on Zorin OS?
Thanks in advance for any help.

GIT is not recognised by many distros until you install it.
Zorin is based on Ubuntu so try:
sudo apt install git


 

Thanks! I will do that.


 

py2mta, I'd be interested in how you get on with this.

I've spent a few hours trying to get this to work on Zorin/Ubuntu with no luck.
I eventually gave in and dug out an old MS/Win laptop, (I much prefer linux)


 

Jon, others,

I successfully installed NanoVNA Saver under Ubuntu 18.04 using a hybrid of two approaches found on the web. The repository installation instructions are not sufficient for 18.04.

I suspect that the method would work on derivative distributions (Mint &c.) and probably Debian itself.

There are *installation instructions* available at /g/nanovna-users/files/Nano%20VNA%20Saver/nanoVNA-H4%20software%20support%20under%20Ubuntu.pdf.

Please let me know if there are any problems with the approach.

PS: I feel your pain!

Jon-G0MYW here is a link to a 7zip file with two scripts a readme.txt and a pdf. Instructions are in the Readme.txt file for installation. This has been tested on LinuxMint 19.3, Ubuntu 20.04, and Zorin OS 15.2
Good luck

Hello,
What I have not seen up to now is a *permission* problem fix with the access to the USB serial port (nanoVNA).

What to do:
# Add user to group dialout, for USB-Serial access.
$ sudo usermod -a -G dialout <user name>
# Reboot
$ groups
rudi adm dialout cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin lxd sambashare vboxsf
# "dialout" must show up in the list.
